BiT Microsystems Sets a New Storage Capacity World Record on Solid State Storage.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1999-- Enhanced Low-Cost E-Disk SNX SNX Sorting Nexin-Like SNX Shielded Network Experience SNX Secure Network SNX Ssl Network Extender SNX Siemens Network Exchange SNX Standard Notation 35 is World's First 13,312 MBytes Solid State Flash Disk in 3.5" Form Factor with Unmatched Performance and Reliability Addressing the growing demand for higher capacity solid state storage solutions, BiTMicro today announced the availability of the enhanced flash-based solid state E-Disk SNX35 product line with up to unprecedented 13,312 MBytes capacity record in a half-height 3.5-inch form factor. With sustained read/write transfer rate of over 4.5 MBytes/sec, the E-Disk SNX35 SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. Normal solid state flash disk drive is 2 times faster than the closest competitor. In addition, SNX35 system access time has been enhanced to less than 0.7 msec, which is over 7 times faster than the fastest SCSI flash disk solid state storage competitor. Confidence on the reliability, flexibility, and manageability of SNX35 E-Disk is expressed by users from various industries worldwide including telecommunications, transportation, networking, medical devices, robotics, industrial automation, aviation, aerospace, government, and military applications. SNX35 also incorporates an array of features making it an exceptional value for all businesses engaged in mission critical operations. With no moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. and robust sandwiched all electronic construction, SNX35 raises the reliability and data integrity standards of high capacity solid state storage solutions to new frontiers of severe operating conditions and harsh environment of extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures. In contrast to the inherently volatile DRAM-based solid state solutions, the non-volatile flash-based solid state E-Disk does not need battery backup See UPS. , redundant power supplies, nor backup hard disk drives to retain data when power is shut down. Even with the whopping 13,312 MBytes of storage capacity, the improved SNX35 consumes a scant 3 watts of power during read/write operations, less than 0.7 watts during standby and less than 0.3 watts during sleep mode. Without UPS, other storage devices have problems with registry/file/FAT corruption when powering down ungracefully to varying degrees. To resolve this failure mode, the new SNX35 E-Disks are fitted with multiple voltage sensors that detect impending im·pend intr.v. im·pend·ed, im·pend·ing, im·pends 1.

See flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM and FOTA. utilities that protect data in-process from being lost or corrupted during brown-outs and other instances of ungraceful power shutdowns. The SNX35 plug and play, built-in diagnostics, and universal field upgradeable firmware design features simplify the integration, field support, and overall storage management activities. Updated firmware can be downloaded through the Internet, without requiring the user to send the product in for an upgrade. "Surely we will continue to build our reputation as the best flash-based storage solutions pioneer and manufacturer by never losing sight of customer satisfaction. SNX35 will help us achieve that goal," said Dr. R.H. Bruce, president of BiT Microsystems, Inc.
